“Be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.” Jim Rohn

LT taught me to think more broadly and to really listen to others.

Currently, I am working on transitioning out of directing a non-profit (Teen Court) where I’ve devoted the last seven years and I am excited about reinvesting in other areas of interest, like supporting my kids’ education through the Red Lick Education Foundation.

I must defer to Eleanor Roosevelt: “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”

To my knowledge, I was the first female Certified Financial Planner™ in the Texarkana area, back in the early 2000s.

I have three young boys, what’s a hobby?! My passions and focus revolve around them right now: being a referee/judge and sports/outdoor enthusiast, etc.

Eating out Sunday lunch after church is my favorite thing to do with family and friends at various Texarkana treasures!

We enjoy a small town atmosphere that is getting larger providing jobs, diversity and boosting our economy! Along with the big businesses here, we have many locally owned restaurants and specialty stores that make my hometown unique and welcoming to visitors and those looking to relocate. I love our minimal traffic, especially!
